Condo insurance is designed to provide protection for condo owners, similar to homeowners insurance. However, like homeowners insurance, there are things that aren’t covered under condo insurance. Our team at Blue Hen Insurance LLC is committed to helping Middletown, DE condo owners understand condo insurance. 

Understanding Condo Insurance

What’s Typically Covered by Condo Insurance?

Condo insurance is designed to provide liability protection as well as coverage for damage, stolen items, and your unit’s fixtures and appliances. It’s designed to cover what the homeowners association (HOA) will not cover. For example, condo insurance would cover the repair of the inside of your unit/condo, and provide liability protection if you’re sued for negligence.

What’s NOT Covered?

Although there are many things that condo insurance covers, there are specific things that wouldn’t be covered under a condo insurance policy. Condo insurance will not cover damage caused by earthquakes, floods, nuclear hazards, underground water, and damage from birds, rats, and insects. Normal wear and tear, intentional harm to others, and sewer backups. You’ll need to purchase separate endorsements or a separate policy for coverage for these items. 

Other Considerations

Typically, damage caused by earth movement and natural disasters isn’t covered by condo insurance. It’s best to purchase separate coverage if you live in an area prone to these types of incidents. Damage caused by earthquakes, floods, sinkholes, and other natural disasters isn’t covered by condo insurance.
